The Evaluation Process

As our society has become more litigious, there are many areas that must be evaluated to protect consumers from safety perspective, as well as the sport organization legally. In addition, every event is an opportunity to improve for the future. Therefore, the importance of evaluating an event cannot be emphasized enough.

The evaluation process must be handled appropriately to determine areas that can be improved and impact the end result in a positive manner. There are three phases to the evaluation process that will be discussed throughout this lesson. Phase 1 involves the pre-event research. Phase 2 involves an iterative evaluation. Phase 3 involves a post-event evaluation. Below is a brief description of each phase:

· Pre-event Research- This phase determines whether the event is feasible and has the potential to be successful from a financial perspective and a performance perspective. This phase often includes a stakeholder analysis and swot analysis to determine how effective the event can be.

· Iterative Evaluation- This phase provides continuous evaluation throughout the event management process. It creates opportunities to determine alignment with objectives and determines operational deadlines. Continuous monitoring is essential in this phase.

· Post-event Research- This phase begins after the events is complete, but plays a very significant role in determining the overall success of the event. This phase takes a deep analysis of all feedback and determines specific areas of success and failure.

 

Week 7 Assignment | Final Project – Event Critical Assessment

This project/paper incorporates the core concepts learned in this course and demonstrates an understanding of Sports Event Management.

Over the course of these eight weeks you must select a sport event to attend and provide a critical assessment of the event. You must have your event approved by the end of the fourth week of the course. Your write-up of this assignment should be 8-12 pages in length, not including the title or reference page and follow the criteria below.

The purpose of this assignment is to give you the opportunity to visit a sporting event and evaluate the key elements comprising the sport experience based on information from the text and course. Your task is to apply course-related material to a real-world sport event. For this assignment, you are to attend a sporting event and perform an assessment of that event. By analyzing the event you should heighten your understanding of consumers’ reactions to the event and understand how to better manage an event that meets customers’ and sponsors’ needs.

1. Name of event, date, location, and other descriptive information (e.g., website address, scanned ticket stub, flyer, other pertinent information that you see fit).

2. Briefly describe the event and the organization responsible for hosting the event. You should provide a background and historical perspective of the event and venue.

3. Conduct a detailed SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) for the following:

· The organization that put on the event.

· The event itself.

4. Describe some of the various stakeholders and their influence on the event.

5. Explain if there are short term benefits and long term legacies developed by this event.

6. Describe some of the sponsors of the event and their relationships to the event, community, organizers, etc.

7. While at the event, observe both the spectators and the event staff. What does the organization do well? What do they do poorly? How effectively did the organization meet customers’ needs? Do they offer what customers want? Are there ways in which the services could be managed or performed more effectively? Report your key observations.

8. Interview at least three customers/spectators and make note of the demographic characteristics of the people you interview (sex, race, age, etc.). You may not interview people with whom you attended the event. Try to find out what influences the consumers/spectators decision to attend the event. What really attracts customers to this event and how are they attracted to the event? Try to find out what influences customers’ overall experiences at the event. What aspects of the event do customers find most/least appealing? What aspects of the event most influence customers’ satisfaction?

9. Based on your observations and interviews, make some recommendations that seem appropriate for improving the overall event experience. What will keep customers and sponsors satisfied? What will it take to bring them back and encourage others? Base your recommendations on what is in the text and what you found through your interviews and your observations.

10. If you were to do a post-event evaluation, which method would you use and why?

Tips: • Decide early on which event you will select. • Do the assignment from a manager’s perspective rather than a fan’s perspective. • Summarize your impressions by placing emphasis on the evaluation rather than mere descriptions. • Be sure to tie your evaluations to the things that we have learned in class. • This report should be between eight and 12 double-spaced pages.
